Is there an origin and a chain of transmission (sanad) for the hadith: "Space is made for the stranger in his grave according to his distance from his family," and can it be authentically attributed to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

No hadith has been narrated from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, with the wording mentioned. However, it has been narrated with other similar wordings.

Its meaning, according to scholars, is that his grave will be expanded for him to the distance between his grave and his birthplace, and a door to Paradise will be opened for him.
